<h3>Remove a Complex from the databases:</h3>

<p>If you need to remove a complex given in a <b>text <nobr>log<i>K</i>&deg;-</nobr>file</b>,
erase the corresponding line with a text editor.</p>

<p>If you wish to remove a complex given in the
<b>binary <nobr>log<i>K</i>&deg;-</nobr>database</b>,
so that it may not be retrieved, give again the complex
but preceede the name by a <nobr>&#147;<tt>@</tt>&#148;.</nobr> For example:</p>

<p class="indent">
<nobr><tt>@FeOH+;</tt></nobr>
</p>

<p>The order by which the database files are searched may be changed
using the pull-down menu &#147;Options / Data / <nobr>Database&nbsp;files&#148;</nobr>
of DATABASE. The order is important: for two complexes with the same name (but different
<nobr>log<i>K</i>&deg;</nobr> values), only the last one will be retained.
To remove a complex (by preceeding the name with a <nobr>&#147;<tt>@</tt>&#148;)</nobr>
it is necessary that the complex to remove does not appear in a database
which is&nbsp;read&nbsp;later.</p>
